Accessibility has been a legal requirement since 2025.
The European Accessibility Act is in force. Many organisations know this – but don't yet know what it means for their website in practice, or who should implement it technically.
I help make existing WordPress sites accessible in a pragmatic and sustainable way.
What has been in force since June 2025
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires businesses in the EU to make their digital products and services accessible. For many organisations, this means their website needs to be brought up to standard.
Ignoring this risks legal warnings and fines. Addressing it gives you a concrete advantage over competitors – and a site that works for everyone.
Where most organisations stand right now
- The topic is on the radar internally, but nobody knows where to start
- An audit report has been produced – but who's going to implement it?
- The agency doesn't have the capacity or the technical depth for it
- WordPress themes and plugins have never been checked for accessibility
- What's missing is someone who doesn't just audit but also implements directly
What I do specifically
-
Accessibility Audit
I analyse your existing WordPress site and show you exactly where the problems are, how serious they are and what order makes sense to tackle them in. No 80-page PDF that nobody reads – just a clear priority list.
-
Technical Implementation
I implement the improvements directly – in your existing theme, in your templates, without a full relaunch. Keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, contrast, structure: everything that actually matters.
-
Agency Support
If you're an agency with client projects that have accessibility requirements and you're missing the technical depth: I step in. No lengthy onboarding – I read code without needing a briefing document.
-
Sustainable solution, not a patch
Accessibility overlays and automated tools don't solve the problem – they hide it. I make sure the improvements are anchored in the code and don't get lost at the next update.
Audit and implementation from a single source
The most common problem is that accessibility gets audited but not implemented. Or implemented, but not sustainably.
I do both. After the audit I already know how to solve it technically – because I've been writing WordPress code for over 15 years and treat accessibility not as a checkbox, but as a fundamental craft standard.
- No middleman between analysis and implementation
- I work in the existing system – no unnecessary relaunch
- Clear communication, even with non-technical stakeholders
- I tell you what's actually needed – not what generates the biggest project
Taking the first step
You don't need to know how far your site is from WCAG compliance. Just send me a brief note about which site it is and what you know so far – I'll give you an honest first assessment.
